This is held back by the stainless steel distillation for me. Fairly simple profile of caramelized agave and some alcohol along with some slight bitterness.
Peanut butter, baked agave
Nose: Agave, minerals, alcohol and sharpness. Flavor: Agave, cinnamon, pepper, a hint of citrus and some bitterness. Not terribly complex but a definite bargain.
Nose: Barrel spice, floral and fruit notes, earth and minerals. Flavor: Pepper and banana bread spices. Toasted nuts and sweet agave/honey. A touch on the sweet side and a hint of bitters. Finish is bit hot, with a hint of mint and a mustiness. Probably great in a mixed beverage.
A good tequila for the price. Aroma of cinnamon and cooked agave.
Price-$ Flavor& Quality -$$$
At a cost of about $15 (on sale) to $20 for a 750ml bottle, Hacienda Vieja Tequila Reposado seems like a great value for the money.
Easy to sip bargain brand. The nose is agave, barrel spice and some slight smoke not evident in the blanco. In the mouth this sauve without being bland with agave, barrel spice and minimal alcohol. A short finish fading to some lingering sweetness.
